july 2013 sleevers

I have found that if I get in less than 500 cal. I don't loose, but when I

get just over 600 cal. I loose around a lb. a day. I track everything I put

in. It has been very consistent. I add unflavored Protein to get to 600

cal. I average about 4-5 oz of food 3 times a day and plus a snack to get

to 600.

23 days out, 19 lbs since surgery... 36 total

300 calories is really low for a whole day. My program's minimum requirement is 75g. of Protein and 800 calories. I'm not always able to get 800 calories but I'm over 600. My dietician said it's like a car...the more fuel you put in, the farther it can go.

I had surgery on July 9th & to date, I've only lost 24lbs since surgery, 37lbs pre surgery diet. i really feel like I should've lost a lot more. In the last two weeks, I've only lost like 2 lbs. it's so frustrating!! I drink decent amts of Water & Protein. I don't get it. I'm eating like 1/3 or 1/4 of the calories I did before surgery....?!? I'm on soft foods now & I also have to take nausea medicine with every meal, unless its liquid or i get so sick to my stomach. So weird! It's definitely taking a whole lot of adjusting to my new life style.

Everyone loses at a different rate and it is not uncommon for one to be in a stall around the 3rd week. Keep up what you are doing and eventually the pounds will show. What I am doing to try to prevent a stall is to constantly shake things up so my body does not get comfortable and routine. I am trying new recipes and diffe foods I am able to tolerate (5 weeks out). I am also changing up my excercise routine. Be patient.

I had surgery the same day and lost 12 pre op 18 post op. I too get frustrated at times because others have lost soo much more than me, but im committed to this new life style. Im sticking to the food plan and exercising, I know itll all work out and be worth it in the long run!! Stay focused and have faith we can do this! I totally agree though.. its a major ajustment.

Today I am 3 weeks out and I have lost a total of 22 lbs post op! I didn't think it was that much so I'm super thrilled and want to see if I can get into even more clothes I grew out of!

I have only lost 19 post op. I am sure I am not getting enough calories.

I was 3.5 weeks out at my last weigh in and lost 14 pounds since surgery. It's kind of disappointing since I lost 11pounds in the first 10 days. I'm hoping the weight loss picks back up after my body adjusts to the new normal. Also, I only just got cleared to return to the gym, and will be much more active once the school year starts and I am back to work. Hopefully it will be faster!

Finally broke my stall!! Lost 2 lbs over the weekend. So now I'm down 22 lbs since surgery. I wonder if it was because I slightly changed up my diet this weekend and ate foods that weren't exactly pureed. Also, put on a pair of sandals I bought right before surgery, and they are too big now! If it weren't for the ankle strap I would've walked right out of em. Wish that would happen with my jeans already! lol

Hi all I'm going to get very personal with this question. I'm almost 3 weeks post-op. I may urinate three times a day and my first one of the day is dark yellow and when I have a bowel movement its like a small child use the bathroom. My question to everyone is in the beginning were you like this and should I be concern?

[Ginagirl 21]

It.happens with me to..the dark urine..I really have to.drink lots of water.for it to be different

[4AHealthierMe 24]

Dark urine could be sign of urinary tract infection, drink lots of Water, possibly cranberry juice, if any burning, I'd call Dr.
